Maximize Daniel House Club Interior Design Trade Account

Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Daniel House Club Trade Account

A Daniel House Club trade account brings together over 200 vendors, concierge sourcing, and true-wholesale pricing into one easy-to-use dashboard. For working designers, that means quicker specs, reliable margins, and less time spent on paperwork. Below is a practical guide to getting started, maximizing your discounts, and organizing each purchase order so your business runs smoothly and your clients stay impressed.

Benefits of a Trade Account

• Volume-to-wholesale pricing: DHC starts where many programs stop (“Designer Net”) and often moves closer to wholesale, widening margin without raising client costs.
• No minimums, no annual spend: Order a single sconce or a full install; your price tiers stay intact.
• 200+ curated brands: Four Hands, Currey & Company, Jaipur Living, Hudson Valley, and more—no extra vendor forms.
• Flat or free freight: Choose a plan that fits your logistics budget: 10% flat-rate shipping, free freight, or 9.5% premium shipping with priority support.
• On-call concierge: A human team can chase samples, quote custom, or troubleshoot freight claims.
• Project boards & client checkout: Build room-by-room carts, share for approval, and let clients pay directly while you retain margin.
• White-label experience: Present vendor-agnostic proposals. We stay invisible to clients, protecting your sourcing intel.

How to Open and Optimize a Trade Account

1. Verify credentials: Gather your resale certificate, EIN, or business license (designers, architects, contractors, and other trade pros accepted).
2. Submit the online application: The form takes minutes—attach documents and add a brief description of your firm.
3. Watch for approval email (~1 business day): Trade team reviews credentials and responds by email.
4. Choose the right tier: Pick PRO, PRO + Free Shipping, or Signature based on shipping volume and service needs (see table below).
5. Load project boards on day one: Populate upcoming jobs with priority SKUs; locked-in pricing prevents later sticker shock.
6. Lean on concierge early: Forward any spec with missing details—our team will confirm lead time, alternatives, or custom options.
7. Integrate DHC into your fee structure: Decide whether to pass discounts or mark up cost; document the policy in your letter of agreement.
8. Track annual spend for tier upgrades: Larger volumes can unlock lower freight or Signature perks without switching platforms.

Maximizing Trade Discounts for Interior Designers

• Batch ordering: Consolidate vendors where possible to push cumulative spend and cut duplicate freight.
• Balance savings & profitability: Passing on a portion of savings while retaining an 8–15% margin keeps fees competitive and transparent.
• Request vendor additions: Submit vendor requests to add favorite lines and keep pricing safeguards in one portal.
• Schedule installs around lead-time clusters: Group products with similar ETAs to reduce storage and on-site labor costs.
• Monitor promotional overlays: Limited specials can stack with trade pricing for outsized savings.
